Chapter 7
"Come on dear sister, don't cry. Don't cry." He wiped her tears while they sat on the stairs.
"Why? Tell me why? Why do I have to have a life that's worse? Why did they let me be born? Why did I have to be a Goddess? Why do I have to love him and not treated to be loved by my own husband? Why, ain't I perfect enough?" She continued to cry.
"Hey, don't say that. You are already perfect for being just yourself. The original you, the Hera they never seen before. The Hera I have been with that was so sweet. The Hera who they never had seen before. That's the time you could show the real you and just being yourself, you are perfect just the way you are, okay?" Poseidon said and she nodded.
She calmed down for a little while. She wiped her tears away and whispered. "Thank You" he smiled at her.
"So...you wanna start tomorrow?" she asked.
"Tomorrow? For what?" Poseidon asked.
"For you and Athena, silly." She laughed.
"Oh right. Sure." He replied and then they went back to their chambers after.
Hera opened the door slowly and sniffed a bit. She turned around and saw Zeus sitting on their bed, awake. She went to him and sat beside him.
"Oh Zeus, sorry. I just... went outside to have some fresh air." Hera said.
"I see. I woke up because I found you not beside me." Zeus replied and rubbed her cheek smoothly.
"Sorry...I didn't mean to wake you. I was just thinking." Hera looked down.
Zeus looked at her in aww. He knew that she wasn't feeling well because of him. He cupped her chin with his hand and kissed her passionately in the lips. He tasted the flavour of her lips while enjoying it. Hera did no movement, she was feeling so sad for what he was doing. She loved him but she can't accept him because of their problems. Every movement and touch from him makes her break her heart, makes her feel like they weren't meant to be. He continued to travel her lips. He tasted all her presence. His lips then went below her neck and tasted her shoulder. He looked up and saw Hera starting to cry. He stopped and looked in her eyes.
"Sorry." He said but Hera kept sobbing. It was not in what he was doing, it was what he was letting her looked down then he took her hands and spoke:
"You could've just told me what was your problem earlier, Hera. The one you and my brother talked about."
Hera looked at him in shock. He knew the words that she said about him to Poseidon. How she felt about him. He knew! Tears kept forming on her eyes. She can't believe that he heard her.
"I-I..." she trailed off.
Zeus placed his finger on her lips." Shh...speak no more. Forget what I said. You need rest, now sleep."
Hera nodded and they slept in the same position.
In the morning, Zeus woke up and saw Hera still beside him, asleep. Zeus slowly moved his hand to stand up then Hera slowly woke up. They sat up and Zeus went to her. He took her forehead and kissed it gently.
"Good Morning, my dear Hera."
"Good Morning to you to, Zeus." She half-smiled.
"Let's eat for breakfast" Zeus said and she nodded. They changed their clothes and went to the dining room for breakfast. They sat down each others ends and ate their ambrosia and nectar. While eating, Hera caught Poseidon looking dreamily straight at Athena who was talking to Artemis. Hera kicked Poseidon at his foot.
"What?" He looked at her in a annoyed expression.
"Stop staring! You will be noticed." She whispered shout. She saw Zeus looking at her like 'Huh!?'. She smiled at Zeus and looked forward to Poseidon in a weir face.
"Fine" He replied and started to eat. She rolled her eyes and continued to finish her ambrosia. After she ate, she went and told Poseidon: "Later. At our room, let's plan."
"But what about Zeus? He'll kill me." He whispered.
"Don't worry. I will explain it up to him." She replied.
"Okay."
She went to their room and went to her desk. She took some papers, pencils, ball pens, and erasers. She arranged it on the desk. The room door went open and she saw Zeus.
"Hera, what are you doing?" he asked.
She went near him. "I was just-uhh...uhm may I have a permission for Poseidon to come here. We-uhh need to do this kind of project that we need to uhh-finish." She explained and walked near Zeus.
"Please..." she said sweetly.
Zeus sighed. "Fine."
"Yay" she jumped and hugged him tightly. She pulled away slowly. "Thank You, Zeus."
He nodded. "I will just get my bolt at Hephaestus okay?"
She nodded then he went out the hall. He sighed and breathe heavily. He was getting jealous at their brother.
"Just don't mind them okay? Everything will be just fine." He told himself.
Back at their chamber, while Hera was fixing the desk, she heard a knock from the door. She called out "Wait a minute"
She went to the door and saw Poseidon. She smiled "You may come in."
"But what about Zeus?" He asked.
"I told him already." She replied.
He smiled and walked in. They sat together on the chairs and Hera fixed the ball pen and papers to ready to write.
"So, what is on your mind for her?" she asked and looked at Poseidon.
"Mmm...what do you think? Gifts, Books, Invite her for dinner, be friendly to her or..." he trailed off when she was starting to write something.
Few minutes past, Hera spoke up.
"How about...take her to a beautiful place?"
"No...not quickly." He thought about it.
"Yeah. You have a point." She said.
Olympian minutes past, Hera started to scream. Poseidon was startled.
"OH my Styx! I know what to do. We are going to make a puzzle for her and-" Poseidon interrupted.
"-And make a sculpture out of it but the sculpture will be only seen when she solved the puzzle." Poseidon interrupted.
"How did you know that?" She looked at him weirdly.
"Because that was the one that I was thinking before you screamed."he replied.
"Okay...that's...weird." she said. "But where will we get the thing that will make it only shown if she solved it?"
They both thought of it. Where will they get the thing that will make the puzzle magical? Hmm...wait?...magical?...magic?.
"Hecate." They said in unison then the door of the room shut open revealing, Zeus. They turned that startled them. Hera stood up.
She went near him and fixed a bit of his toga."Uh Zeus?"
"Yeah?" he replied.
"Can we go to Hecate's place? We need to get a potion for this kind of-of project that we need to finish...early" Hera said softly.
Zeus thought of this for a moment. " Yeah. Sure."
She smiled a bit. She placed her hand under his chin, closed her eyes, and kissed him gently on the lips. She pulled away slowly after and sighed and looked down.
"Thank You." She whispered. She looked at Poseidon and nodded at her. They went to out to Hecate's place. While they were walking Poseidon spoke up.
"I guess you are still mad at him that you didn't want to kiss him right? And it just makes you feel sad in his..."he trailed off. Knowing that he wasn't making her better. "Sorry" he muttered. She muttered him a 'it's okay' and they continued to walk. When they arrived at Hecate's, Poseidon knocked 3 times. The door slowly went open.
"Must be... magical." Poseidon said and Hera smiled. They walked in and saw a girl popped into mist. They slowly backed away but the girl spoke.
"Please don't be scared. It's me Hecate. Goddess of Magic." She said.
Hera looked at her like 'Oh, Yeah.'. Poseidon was going to touch her like she wasn't real but she slapped his hand. "Ouch" he rubbed his hand.
"Uhmm Queen Hera and Lord Poseidon, what are you doing here?" Hecate asked.
"Uhh Hecate, do you have some potion that can reveal a sculpture in a puzzle when you solved the puzzle pieces in one?" Hera asked.
Hecate thought for a moment and she spoke." Oh yeah I think I have that in my other chamber. Come on follow me." She said. They followed her inside a room full of potions. They were like 'Wow' in their expression of their faces and Hecate smiled.
She started to go around the room finding the potion. Most were colourful but it wasn't the right one. Poseidon sat down on a chair and Hera scanned the potions. She looked at the names of the potions. There were Mist, Clothing Z, Razid Mix, LforSpell... She took the LforSpell and read the definition: Potion that makes it show that the couples that are in love are really meant for each other. This is meant to be used for rings, jewelries, etc. LforSpell Hera thought.
"Hey Hecate. Does this LforSpell really work?" Hera asked.
"Uhh Yeah... oh here it is"She got the potion. She went to them and handed it to Hera. "Here."
"Thank You... zhow much is it? And yeah this LforSpell too."Hera asked and showed the LforSpell.
"That one is 74 drachmas... and that LforSpell is 86 drachmas." Hecate said. Hera handed her 160 drachmas and said "Thank You." And smiled.
They turned around but the door wasn't around. They looked back at Hecate.
"Oh sorry my house is magical. I will just teleport you guys. Aniza Von Jue." She whispered and next thing they knew they were outside of the house of Hecate.
Hera looked at Poseidon. "Weird."
"Yeah Let's go." Poseidon said and they teleported to the throne room.
